Obviously being on Lemmy you get people who support open access. But seeing the state of the average American, and the results of their latest election, maybe it's time for big brother to step in a little bit...
If that's the logic, explain why meta and google still exist.
... They said the populous of Lemmy was more scrutinizing of privacy than other platforms. He never said anything about the people using meta or Google. I'm not sure people here are even reading what others are saying.
To me it comes like this. If China won't allow a Chinese owned app to be used in China, it gives other countries reason to worry about it. Meta and Google can be controlled by the U.S. government and are allowed within the nation they are owned in.
Is it a good thing they collect so much data, no. But this law has nothing to do with privacy, and everything to do with the flow of usable data and who controls that.
Yeah, full support for the Trump administration to have the power to say which social media is acceptable, that'll fix everything! /s
